Tissot watches are ugly

[Question] When buying a big ticket watch, do you consider the price of servicing? in c/watches@style.land

5-8 years? That seems too short based on my experience anyway.;

9 years on a GMT2, 11 years on an Air King, 14 years on a Breitling

[Grail] what is your grail watch and how likely are you to get it? in c/watches@style.land

It’s not even supply/demand it’s the weird market for luxury goods. This JLC was 9700 a year ago, 14600 now, but you can pick them up used all day for 7-8000. Funny thing is you could pick them up used for 7-8000 before the price increase too lol.

So the new price went up by 5 grand and the used value didn’t shift a cent.

JLC Master Control Geo is the grail. Not because it's super expensive, just don't see them often.

I went to look at one last week actually. Problem with this thing is it was $9700 a year ago, and today it's $14,600. It's not worth that.

This market is just goofy right now.

[Recommendation] Orange/white vibe. (alien.top)
 

I’m looking for a watch with a similar color scheme as this Omega AT but I know I’d never wear it enough to justify spending Omega money for it.

Wondering what’s out there with a similar color vibe, maybe in the $1500 or under range. Would probably be on a bracelet like this or an orange/white NATO maybe?

The mod bot hasn’t liked my attempts to post because they aren’t long enough, but it’s pretty straightforward question lol

What have you seen lately that has the same kind of color vibe? Thanks!
